Procmail-for-Dummies (me)

Okay, loaded procmail a few weeks ago and it is definately better than 
mail as an MUA... thanks to whomever posted the patch on memory usage 
also, fixed the problem on our system... next FILTERS...

Where is this going?... I need a pointer on putting in a system wide 
filter to eliminate mail to ids that don't exist.... ie: 
From:SpamJerks.com/To:Spamjerks.com (notice some fustration here...)

I have in my sendmail.cf file ...

Mprocmail,     P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=mSDFMhun, S=11, R=21,
               A=procmail -m $h $f $u

right under the Mlocal

and in the local rulesets I have

procmail hanlder
R$*<@some.where>$*
       $#procmail $@/etc/procmailrcs/main.rc 
$:$1(_at_)some(_dot_)where(_dot_)procmail$2
R$*<@$*.procmail>$*
       $1<@$2>$3       Already filtered, map back

Look familar... all directly from the docs.... cut & paste is my friend...

Now, here comes the probably most stupid question of the list's history...

The @some.where & @some.where.procmail is suppose to be our domain... right?

The second to the most stupid question....

What do I put into /etc/procmailrcs/main.rc to stop/filter the mail?  A 
ref. to a doc will do for this one.

TIA and flames deserved

Michael
